One of them meme things ...

In honor of upcoming Mother's Day: All about your first born...

1. Did you have an epidural? God, yes. Two, in fact. 

2. Was the father in the room? Yep. (I skipped the crack about Justin Trudeau not being available.)

3. Were you induced? They gave me potocin, but not necessarily for induction. They were just trying to make labor easier. It didn't work all that well. (See below.)
